YELLING BIRD LIVES !!!!1!!!!!!!ELEVENBITCH11111!!!!!!!!
-
Haha I know this was a cheap joke but I haven't lol'd at a QC like this since
-
Months should be longer than 31 days
I'm not quite sure what to expect this week. A new storyline would be good as all we have is the Angus-Faye thing. Marten's having a "meet old characters" spree, which doesn't appear to be going anywhere
-
I am so proud of Yelling Bird.
So.
Proud.
-
Can't tell if Friday and today classify as cliffhangers or stalling. Probably cliffhanging since the loose ends there are shouldn't be much of a problem for an experienced comic author. I could be wrong of course, having no experience myself and such.
A content-free post for the two last content-free updates. I yawn in your general direction.
-
I heard yelling bird in T-pain's voice. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU)
-
Best song ever.
Watch the hawk's eyes change between panels 1 and 2. That was when Yelling Bird pecked through her heart.
-
...And then he started singing a metal version of "Hello My Baby" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVZUVeMtYXc).
-
That is just my favourite scene in the film
-
I hate to admit it but this made me laugh so hard.
-
Jeph said "Finally had an insight into where to take Sven from here." on twitter, but nothing has been posted, Sven wise, since then. I'm all waiting .... waiting ... waiting ...
-
Yelling Bird now has two birthdays.
-
Jeph said "Finally had an insight into where to take Sven from here." on twitter, but nothing has been posted, Sven wise, since then. I'm all waiting .... waiting ... waiting ...
I may be wrong, but wasn't that the night before we were introduced to Sven's whiney, self-pitying side?

Yes, it was.
-
NO! The Sven strip was pre-NEWW and Jeph made that comment post-NEWW. I think it was like 5 or 6 days ago.
-

I'm not afraid to admit it - this made me laugh. That's why I come to QC - to make me laugh. Am I right?
*crickets*

Poor Hawk.
She should've known.

1372 was last Wednesday (the first). The Twitter post was March 31st. QED.

:-o
I totally missed that one!
Now I get why everyone was talking about how whiny Sven was! I thought everyone was basing the whiny stuff on 1354 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1354) and was thinking that it was getting way exaggerated.
I guess you miss things between bouts flu and head stapling.

Nope, nothing intelligent to say. But I'll be damned if I'm going to waste time hunting up this thread again.

Giraffe kisses, for the win!!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Hannerth dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Hanners: "I NEED AN ADULT!!"
-
Hannraffe WOOOT!!!!
-
Dora's transition to blonde is almost complete now (and either her hair grows pretty fast or time's been passing pretty fast lately).
-
Well, now that Hawk knows how John Hurt felt. :D
I guess Hanners will be adding Giraffes to that list now.
-
Hannelore: Touched by his noodly appendage.
-
RAmen!
-
I never knew that giraffe's tongues were purple. I can go back to bed now, I've learned my new thing for the day....
Yeah, like that'll happen.
-
First thought that popped into my head when I read today's strip is that Tycho is masturbating furiously to it. (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/1/18/)
...and that's terrible.
-
The perspective on Hanners via Giraffe-cam -- EXCELLENT.
Jeph's really developed some drawing chops. I admire.
-
Let Dora express my thoughts on today's comic and its main character:
(http://mitglied.lycos.de/sarknagel/rolleyes.png)
Funny how convincing this expression looks with only a little (mediocre) editing.
-
Let Dora express my thoughts on today's comic and its main character:
There's a fair number of us who feel that way.
Everybody else seems to want to cuddle-wuddle with the lunatic. :roll:
-
This is a most riveting week so far for stories
-
I'd probably scream, too, if the giraffe's spots kept changing like that, right before my very eyes!! :-o

"Hanners" must be on some new medication again.

The spots seem pretty consistent to me.
Also, the purple tongue rocks.

It was nice to get a reminder of the Salute Your Shorts bit about a radio quiz show and giraffe tongues.
. . . That was everybody's first thought, right?

That episode is the only reason I remember this fact. Thank goodness I'm not alone.

Wow, I would have screamed if I was her too. What she probably saw was this:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (http://www.animalpicturegallery.net/animal-picture-giraffe-ucumari.jpg)
But the way Jeph drawed it looked much cuter. I liked it very much. ^^

I'm fairly sure everyone (at least Jeph) will hate me for my comment. So don't read it if you don't like things you don't like.
@carazuri would you rather me half-ass a strip to get it up at an arbitrary time? or do you just enjoy bitching about stuff you get for free
Personally, I visit QC for its, well, content. I enjoy the storyline and the drama. I don't really appreciate the last 3 comics (2 plus filler, whether you count filler as no comic, or Jeph being in debt for one comic) being able to be summed up in two panels, maybe three. What I mean by this is that one doesn't need to see the whole story to understand it.
Basically: Hannelore distrusts tapirs, in reference to a previous comic. Then she was licked by a giraffe and didn't like it.
Craziness! Something we know she wouldn't like happens, and she doesn't like it!
Yes, I'm "bitching about stuff [ I ] get for free," but only what I feel is "half-ass"ed.
delicious, delicious irony that I spent way more time tweeting because of complaints that i didn't finish the strip soon enough
More poor time management (which I definitely suffer from) mixed with the opinion that one is never wrong (it is the internet after all) and needs to defend himself at all costs. There's an xkcd about this, but I won't link it so you read them all.
_______________________________________________________
Then again, the new comic is definitely good.

Faye needs to get Angus's number in that puppy, that way she can satisfy the libido AND not give in to temptation.
(at this point I guess I'm pretty much captain of the S. S. Fangus)
And Jeph, for the record FUCK all those impatient mother-fucks that want to read the comic before they go to bed. They can read it when they wake up like all the cats in Europe and Australia and stuff. I don't go to bed until 6am and I can wait all night.
-
Wow. This...speaks to me. Probably does to pretty much everyone though. :|
To all you who are professing annoyance with Jeph for the "filler" stuff...shove it.
To Jeph: MOAR COCKS PLZKTHX!!1
That is all.
-

(at this point I guess I'm pretty much captain of the S. S. Fangus)
I concur. Though, with Angus she might have to work up to booty calls. He doesn't strike me as being quite as easy as Sven.
Also ... DELETE!!! If she gives in she'll just kick her own ass over it afterward.
-
(Please note that I wrote before the new comic was released and posed within 2 minutes of the new comic)
-

That's true, but Faye doesn't seem to me like the kind of person who needs instant gratification. I think if she were to put some time/effort into exploring the possibility of a relationship with Angus, her default reaction won't be to give Sven a call when she's feeling hornly. Instead she'll be thinking about how nice it was having dinner with Angus and imagining his hands, lips, etc. doing the nice things that Sven used to do.

Pritchard? Do we know who that is? I'm having an uber dumb moment and can't remember if that's a QC character or not...anyone know?

i cant count how many times i have gone through this exact same scenario, only.... im not calling sven,... however it is a friends sibling....hmmmm
-
You know, I still have all my ex-girlfriends' phone numbers in my phone (even though one moved away, and the other threatened to change her number). I haven't used them since the respective breakups, but there's something soothing about having them in there.
Is that wrong?
-
I love it how everyone else's names seem to be in "surname, first name" format, but Hanners's is just HANNERS, in capital letters.
-
Faye's libido is getting so big she can walk it on a leash, but she shouldn't because she'd get funny looks walking down the sidewalk with a leash leading into her pants.
Man, quantum mechanics jokes are hard to write.
Yeah. They are simultaneously funny and un-funny. They are also neither funny nor un-funny. It's left for the joke reader to actually read the joke and collapse the humour function to make that ultimate determination.

Like if the ladies knew your innermost secret internal dialogue, you'd ever get laid again.
-
If Faye were to start booty-calling Angus just to appease her libido, she's just have the opposite problem: it seems from their past interactions that he would want a relationship, and she still doesn't seem to want one, so she'd just be using him, and being the callous jerk in that situation. Remember that she was the one who kept insisting her thing with Sven was not allowed to be a relationship, not him.
-
Arh! First, giraffe tongues are blue. Blue, people, BLUE (http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-giraffe.html)! Secondly, wow, I didn't think Jeph would ever write tiny erotica-dialogues in anyone's head. Sad sad sad but I find it a little hot. Anyone who thinks that's pathetic... well, is lying, and knows damn well it's the human condition. Or is actually asexual and in denial.

The womenfolk don't already know what guys think about?
-
I'm still holding out that this respecting sven moping and faye libido leads to them talking things over and making some sort of formal attempt at having a relationship.
But then again I'm also a fool, so who knows.
I could see them talking matters over, and Sven and her both learning some good lessons at the very least.
-
Y'know, I just noticed this but if you look at panel 4, Faye's phone doesn't look too phonelike, and could be mistaken for some kinda fancy light-up sex toy.
"No! Bad libido! Bad!"
Just occurred to me, and felt I had to mention it.

That is actually completely okay with me.
However, it wouldn't play out exactly like that.
It'd go more like so:
Lady: *Hears internal dialog*
Myself: Oh sh--
Lady: *Calls police to report intended homicide, not realizing you can't report things from the future unless you are Paul Maud'Dib*

Ah hormones, the cause of so many challenges for the conscience, and the self esteem after the warm afterglow has passed.

-

So true. And, occasionally, worth it.
I wish Faye and Sven WOULD just talk. I don't say it would lead to love relationship land, but it might give them both some insight, or maybe even let them get over it. But, yeah, insight.
Of course, if Jeph takes Sven back down the path of retreating from growth (which is a logical, potential path) Sven wouldn't answer his phone because he'd be bouncing on some new nameless chick, trying to feel better.
What really gets me is he was pretty distracted through the whole Gina thing, so it couldn't have been that wonderful a night. He certainly didn't look like he was really enjoying himself so much as fulfilling his role as Sven Bianci, Real Live Boy.
(side note -- as long as I'm not writing checks to Jeph and keeping a time sheet for his work, he posts when he posts and I'm happy with it. If he doesn't post, I'm not out anything. If he posts a comic I don't like, I go read something else. If he keeps posting comics I don't like, I stop coming to his site. He doesn't care and I'm reading comics for free, so why should I bitch? However, should I win a multi million dollar lottery, I'll see about hiring him on retainer as my private web comic writer, and then I will pay handsomely for the right to bitch and complain about when the comics show and what they contain, and he will be compensated for listening to it. Until then, it's all good.)
-

People are weird.
First, anything you've been having and enjoying in large quantities recently can be a big deal when you suddenly aren't getting them anymore. Of them sex, sugar, and medically supplied caffeine (really!) have all been mine, and I'm willing to put some cold hard cash down that anyone who's been having good sex recently and is somewhat lonely to boot will feel like Faye does. Except for the true, blue (balled?) stoics out there. But those I've met don't seem entirely human.
Hey, Marten's just next door, Faye... ;)
I thought this, too. And I'm not trolling (as I understand the term, anyway). I simply think it's a shame that people who're good friends can't help one another out at times like this. One of the worst problems I see in Western European cultures (Can't speak to other cultures, haven't lived in them) is its attitudes towards sex. It seems absolutely designed from the ground up to make people feel lonely, isolated, and guilty. Oh, I know very few, if any 'free love' movements have ever worked. But I also think I can pinpoint why they failed. A) too many of the individuals within them couldn't quash their ground-in 'old' culturally-based reactions and 2) there really is no such thing as free sex. There is a price: you have to on some level care about the person you're sharing it with and act accordingly. (yeah, I know there are hoards of people who don't do this; that's part of our society's sexual pathology).
Too me, all sex really boils down to is (or should be) a way of showing someone you care about them, of celebrating the connection. But to think it's the only way, or even the most important way, to me is batshit crazy. Like every other physical act, it's not the act itself, but the intent behind it that defines what the act means.
And yes, I know there's a freaking ton of biological issues that go into this that I haven't touched on. I'll say this: I think one of any society's goals should be to find a way for its individuals to live with and, my goodness, even be happy with their human biology. It's a bit shocking that with all the save the forests, save the oceans, save the whales, what-have-you attempts to get us to live with our planet's biology instead of fighting and destroying it, that we don't seem to do nearly as much for our own biology. Suppress it and move on, OR submit to it completely seem to be the prevailing attitudes, too often both at the same time. I think we need another option.
Anyway, it is a shame Faye can't go get some comfort from Marten, who, incidentally, seems to be the one character on the strip who doesn't place some sort of halo around sex. (Raven and Sven are both belt-notchers, IMHO).
Hookay. Rant over. Inner Penelope, go back to sleep. And for those of you who want simply to address this topic in general, I have created a thread elsewhere. http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,22913.msg801347.html#msg801347 (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,22913.msg801347.html#msg801347) Why?

Until Dora killed them both ... and possibly Sven, since she's already pissed at him and she could probably rationalize how it's his fault. It could be a like a good old fashioned homicidal rage.

And here I was thinking Hanners would be the one to snap.
Seriously, I hope Angus gets hit by a bus before Faye gets to him.
-
Is it just me, or is *this* now the dirtiest strip ever?
Yeah, okay, Sven getting it on with the guitar player probably still qualifies, but I think this is the first time 'cock' was ever used in the strip. Other slang yes, cock, no.
Or maybe it's just the context. Poor Faye. I should not be turned on, but...
...but that's my fault, really. And I am just going to leave it there. :}
-
This qualifies as the Faye mental-thought-process / Faye dream that we never saw when Jeph was doing both of those conceits, right? Maybe he didn't do it because HER LIBIDO IS ON TOTAL OVERLOAD. And when he looked into what she would think/dream, Jeph HIMSELF was disturbed.
-
Jeph's artwork just... it's amazing. The thing that I love about QC, more than the snark or the romance or the angst, is getting to watch in real time, the evolution of an artist. I'm not kissing ass here either. Jeph ain't my friend and I'm not here to be a groupie either. But seriously, just going back through the archives is like watching a flower grow in stop-motion. It's incredible to see him shore up his art, change this, change that, until it looks really warm and beautiful. I've not seen any other web comic push themselves to improve the way Jeph has.
That said, I am really interested to see where Faye is going to go with this. Will she give in? I hope not. She will just be heaping self-loathing on top of her regret and her hurt. No good comes from that. To the person who said Faye was a little pathetic, yeah she totally is. We all get that way sometimes. My ex was a pig. I still had pangs. I still wanted to call him. I still thought about being intimate with him even though he treated me like dirt and the break up was much needed. Those lonely sexual impulses are natural. I just hope they stay impulses and don't become painful reality.
The very thing Faye was avoiding by becoming F-buddies (connection, hurt, feelings of abandonment) happened anyway. She got caught up in their intimacy that even though she was trying so hard to push it away. I'm hoping that since she has now experienced the thing that made her so frightened (and survived) perhaps she won't push love away when it comes back around. That's the thing about avoidance. Once you are faced with the reality of something, it's never as horrendous as it was your head. That doesn't mean it's not sucky, but it's the kind of suckiness you can endure.

I'd point out that Faye used the word "cock" in #358, but if I did then people would find out that I'm a pathetic loser with no life who accumulates trivia about web comics.
-
Faye's scar is from the car crash when the full emotional impact of her father's death hit her all at once. It's been a plot point before, with her initial refusal to discuss it symbolizing her inability to face up to her trauma.

Wow, that was quick. I feel even dumber than I thought I would.

Isn't Hannelore's last name hyphenated? Maybe it's too long to fit into Faye's phone's last name field. :)

He would be too worried that Dora was just testing him to actually agree to it.
-
I really don't get why it never came up. Really - what harm could "we can haz 3sum?" do with a bisexual partner? Even if it does any (either by one part not being able to take a "no" or making a scene when uttering that "no") you've learned a bit more about what your relationship is made of.
Or I could be wrong and Marten has some supernatural way of measuring hormone levels that let him exactly and unmistakably determine his partner's position on anything ever, like flipping out when asked for sexytime times three.
Or he exactly knows that he'd be all like "oh uhm well uh but how to.. both of you? Four boobs, two hands, carry the.. oh my.. that's uh hm" *awkwarsplode*
Which I at least couldn't blame him for.
-
There's also the idea that, while Dora is bi, Faye (as far as I can tell) is not. Also, any aftersex awkwardness would just be multiplied, not to mention aftersex insecurities all around (the variations on "Was she better than me?" boggle the mind).
-

The truth of this is astronomical and also highly hilarious. It's the mental process of trying to do the maths of the situation that makes that so Marten-esque.

Too me, all sex really boils down to is (or should be) a way of showing someone you care about them, of celebrating the connection. But to think it's the only way, or even the most important way, to me is batshit crazy. Like every other physical act, it's not the act itself, but the intent behind it that defines what the act means.
And yes, I know there's a freaking ton of biological issues that go into this that I haven't touched on. I'll say this: I think one of any society's goals should be to find a way for its individuals to live with and, my goodness, even be happy with their human biology. It's a bit shocking that with all the save the forests, save the oceans, save the whales, what-have-you attempts to get us to live with our planet's biology instead of fighting and destroying it, that we don't seem to do nearly as much for our own biology. Suppress it and move on, OR submit to it completely seem to be the prevailing attitudes, too often both at the same time. I think we need another option.
Anyway, it is a shame Faye can't go get some comfort from Marten, who, incidentally, seems to be the one character on the strip who doesn't place some sort of halo around sex. (Raven and Sven are both belt-notchers, IMHO).
Hookay. Rant over. Inner Penelope, go back to sleep. And for those of you who want simply to address this topic in general, I have created a thread elsewhere. http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,22913.msg801347.html#msg801347 (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,22913.msg801347.html#msg801347) Why? Because I like you. :-)
No, not that way. (Man, I miss T-Rex emoticon.)
Dude, I love you. I agree with every damn thing you've written, every single point. And wish more people agreed with me! lol Can't be arsed reading your thread but might when I'm not on my lunch break.
Love. You.
I really don't get why it never came up. Really - what harm could "we can haz 3sum?" do with a bisexual partner? Even if it does any (either by one part not being able to take a "no" or making a scene when uttering that "no") you've learned a bit more about what your relationship is made of.
Well in this case it's obvious neither Dora nor Faye would cope in this situation, but generally I don't see why asking for a threesome with a friend would be bad. Yes or no. It has much potential for badness, but equally for awesomeness!
Edit: Whoops.
Nah Faye would be out of the question, didn't mean to imply her involvement within the mere idea.
OK never mind, we agree. :P
-
No one has brought up the fact that, should Marten suggest a threesome with Faye, Dora would be all "AHA! You still want Faye and you're just with me until she's available! DIE!!"
-
Faye's going totally nuts. And now Dora is the sane one. :roll:
-
It's disconcerting how quickly Faye jumped to the comatose fuck-toy idea.
It's almost like Sven is the only person she knows that has a penis, but isn't there somebody who comes to the coffee shop from time to time even though he doesn't really like coffee all that much. Someone who shares her taste in eye wear and vintage fashion, and like her just got out of an awkward unhealthy relationship?
If only there were someone like that in the cast of Questionable Content.
-
I understand there's a MALE Realdoll. If she'd be happy with Sven in the condition she suggests, she might as well go with the vinyl....
-
Dang! I was hoping she was gonna offer Faye a threesome. :D ;)
Seriously though, at least Dora is offering her a workable solution.
-
Well, Maddness, Dora could also say: "O, god, I knew us was a bad idea. If I'd just stayed out of it, you and Faye could have been happy all this time." *sob*
I can make a case for either way. Or maybe something in between, like: "AHA! You still want Faye and you're just with me until she's available! DIE!....wait, wait, oh , god, I knew us was a bad idea. If I'd just stayed out of it, you and Faye could have been happy all this time." *sob*
What she wouldn't say: "You two deserve each other. Me, I'm gonna hunt down Angus and belittle his fashion sense."
Or
"Screw you both! Incest is best! Yeah, I said it, and I'm glad I said it. Take me, Sven, baby!"
Sven (still rubbing jaw): "Take you where?"
-
I understand there's a MALE Realdoll. If she'd be happy with Sven in the condition she suggests, she might as well go with the vinyl....
I think part of the appeal to her idea is the 'visiting horrific destruction on Sven' part. Kind of like when Hannibal Lector made Ray Liotta eat his own brain at the end of Hannibal.
-
Am I the only one surprised at how willing Faye is to rant about how horny she is for Sven, to his sister? And how completely unfazed Dora is? I would find that conversation to be super-awkward. Yeah, Dora knows Faye's hot for Sven, but some things just don't need to be elaborated upon, I would think.
-
Dora is trying to be a Good Friend. It is not that awkward, really.
-
The characters do have limits after which they say Too Much Information, but those limits are pretty far out there.
-
Todays posting utterly confused me.
Ladies cant masturbate without the help of a penis machine ???
Doesnt make sense to me at all, sorry.
-
Was Dora always that much taller than Faye?
-
a fake penis is still a fake penis. I have a fleshlight, an dwhile it is pretty good, it is no comparison to the real thing. It's still masturbation.
-
Gee, Faye wants to use a brain-dead Sven as a fuck-toy? I thought that was what she was already using him for, so what's the difference? After all, the only interaction she had with Sven was when she wanted sex, and then she gets up and leaves and hangs out with her friends (specifically not including Sven in that circle at all), until she gets horny again and needs another night of banging.
He's not even a friend with benefits, because she never thought of him as a friend. He was just a...well, a fuck toy.
-
A fuck toy who could hug. Most toys lack that particular feature.
Of all people Faye would talk to about Sven, Dora is tops on the list -- what is so weird/awkward about it? It isn't as if Dora doesn't know about Sven's sexual activities, or that he was with Faye, or that Faye doesn't have sexual feelings. She's Faye's friend, and it isn't like Faye is describing Sven's penis with a 3 D model or anything. What, some folks still haven't come to grips with the fact their own parents had sex at least once without getting all ooky? Maybe the continued existence of stork and cabbage leaf stories is really for the kids, not embarrassed parents.
And Faye is totally a Hitachi Magic Wand kinda girl. Those Japanese silicone animal things would give her nightmares.
I wonder if those could be the basis of Hanners' animal problems? I can see that.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, damned if it makes the slightest difference.

I just thought it felt funny, you know, when it made me laugh.
Fucking can't please people.
-
I dunno. I'd just be like weirded out.
I have a cousin who is one year younger than I. We were raised together and so he's always been more like a pesky little brother to me. In high school the masses of females who were attracted to him and wanted me to "hook them up" with him seemed to find it necessary to tell me how hot he was. I had to point out, repeatedly, that A) I was not his pimp and B) He was like my brother and NO I did not want to discuss his assets or listen as the rhapsodized about them. He thought it was fucking hilarious. Asshole.
On the real doll, I've heard that they can make you one working off a picture. So, Faye could have a Sven-like fuck toy if she had the money and could live with the embarrassment of having a Sven toy hiding in her closet.

Uhm. on topic:
I'm sure Dora would be used to people talking about Sven since she's had to put up with it for years already. Also Faye did not say anything too implicit.
-
Interesting last couple of comics these past few days... ah, the human element.
-
Meh, I don't see sex discussion among friends as weird, even when it's one person's brother. But then, I have been known to harass my mother about poor use of contraception and push condoms on her, and recommend vibrator brands. Finding her vibrator when I was 18 and knowing she likes big and realistic was too much though. :|

The point exactly. Not explicit, not detailed -- well, except for the brainstem part, and I think Dora has had that particular thought herself once or twice.
-
So whatever happened to the Pulse-Master-9000 whatever it was? Surely it's on a shelf in the back-room of COD somewhere... or under the counter used for stirring herbal tea....

And shortly after that, Hanners will let Tai seduce her.

Would be funnier if Hanners seduced Tai - if that's even possible.

What I see here is the Dora I like so well (as opposed to the insecure nut-job, and why I cut her enormous slack when she's in that mode) being kind to her friend, Faye, who is going through a rough spot. Or the Sarlacc pit, take your pick.
Oh, and those of you who think it's odd to speak badly of a sibling (or cousin, what have you) must not have one who's often a douche. At some point, ya gotta sigh and say, yeah, that's him alright. The douche. As we've seen in many strips, Dora is very much past this stage with Sven.
I do agree the vibrator sounds a little inadequete, but, were it I trying to do the comforting, I'd be hard pressed to think of anything else, either, things being how they are. I mean, if Dora offered to hold the

Also, let us hope that Faye invests wisely in some quality NiMH batteries and a good charger. :P
Though I suppose a sex shop would stock some variant of them, likely NiMHph batteries.
-
Why bother with batteries? Just get one that plugs right in.
I am willing to bet that pretty much my entire female readership would buy this product.
I concur. Where can I buy one?
:-D

Jeph, the Daft Punk Vibrator made my week, thanks for that.
I especially love the "Work it Harder" written on the box ^^
[edit] Hell I'd buy it just to see the reaction that people have to the box.
[edit] okay I lie, I'd use it, especially if its as colorful as their shows.

MUST HAVE THE DAFT PUNK DISCO DONG - HARDER! BETTER! FASTER! STRONGER!
NOWNOWNOW!
but only if it actually plays One More Time the entire time I'm using it.

No.
A) she never says she went to a sex shop
B) it's Faye. she talks a big game. She's probably speaking rhetorically.
-
Dora looks so excited in that last panel.
-
Dear Jeph,
I'd buy it.
Love,
Joy
-
That's great. Like 5 minutes after I read this strip, "Stronger" by Kayne West started playing on my Pandora station, and I couldn't help but laugh every time the Daft Punk sample came in. "Harder! Better! Faster! Stronger!"
Now I've gotta find my iPod and listen to the real Daft Punk version :p

Daft Punk Disco Dong? What next, the Rammstein Rein Raus Rod? The Judas Priest Turbo Lover? With enough thought a whole line could be thought up.

Daft Punk dildo jokes! I think I can die now.
-
Well, at least it wasn't the old Erotic Emporium in Casselberry...gah, that place was scary. I went there ONCE with a friend. I think it was the 4 foot high wax candle phallus sitting inside the front door that was *ahem* so intimidating. Ah, I was so young.
Now? Now I'm an old woman and such things no longer intimidate me because they make me laugh. Descriptions on boxes and reviews in catalogs exist to be read aloud at parties in an appropriately throbbing voice, with exclamation points. Or imitating one of those TV ad men, especially that guy with the painted black beard who talks with his hands chopping the air.
There is an eco friendly vibe on the market, too. Has one of those wind up chargers, like the flashlight. Aimed at the green crowd who still want to get off.
Oh, as a note -- males can certainly use vibrators (and do), with or without attachments. Attachments are a WHOLE 'Nuther World.
-
What next, the Rammstein Rein Raus Rod?
Der Ritt war kurtz
Es tut mir leid

The name of the shop, Oh Wow, just randomly made me recall my favorite romance title from my bookselling days: The Virgin Bride Said, "Wow!" (http://www.amazon.com/Virgin-Lockharts-Harlequin-American-Romance/dp/0373168705)

I dunno, I'd rather get a Rammstein rod than a Daft Punk one. :evil: I hate Daft Punk.

Brady admired everything about his new wife, except for her innocence.
Nice! He admires everything about her except the fact that she's not a ho bag.
My favorite is the one where The Greek Tycoon's Virgin Mistress has The Sheiks Secret Baby.

I took my aunt to one of those sex shops for women and she was red-faced almost the entire time we were there. She did like the guy inside who carded her. She found it flattering. :roll: The best toy shop I ever went to was in boys town. It was neither wearhousey or froofy. They also had fun window displays. I'll never forget the one with a herd of inflatable sheep and the leather-clad shepherd. :lol:
-
Now you mention that, there is one sex shop story I recall being told by my uncle. They also had inflatable sheep that went 'Baa' when you poked into the hole in the back. O_o
-
If i was into penetration as a major source of sexual stimulation, i might consider it, but i prefer other methods. I do, however, know a few women who would find it just as appealing as Dora seems to.
Sex shops are fun, though, sans the creepy trench coat guys.

I actually liked "Turbo Lover" *expertly ducks various shoes and refuse thrown at him by 'real' Priest fans*, but, given their album art, a motorized Priest-inspired phake phallus sounds a tad scary. Let's cover the full range, anyway.
Lessee, there should be a Minnie Riperton "Softtouch" that plays "Lovin' You" (she sounds like she's using one on that track, and singing at the same time); a Starland Vocal Band "Afternoon Delight" ('nuff said); an Apocalypse Now: Do You with camo colors that plays Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." complete with vocal soloist; and a "King Crooner" that plays "Love Me Tender."
Somebody call the RIAA and tell 'em to lay of the MP3's and get on this if they want the big bucks. Oh, wait: too late. http://www.ohmibod.com/ohmibod.html (http://www.ohmibod.com/ohmibod.html) I think I just inadvertently made a playlist for it.

Perhaps more appropriate to the subject in hand <cough> is the runner up: Manaconda (http://www.amazon.com/Manaconda-Lora-Leigh/dp/1843609320). The cover is well worth the clickthrough.

I'm generally a fan of Lora Leigh's work, but that title put me off so bad that I've never picked up Manaconda. It just sounds like a Sci-Fi Original. No doubt brought to us by the same guys who thought up Mansquito.

I even remember the Good Vibrations (yes, it's a website and it has NOTHING to do with the Beach Boys) had a line of "realistic vegetable' vibrating dildos.
Faye could probably get a recommendation from Pintsize about this one http://www.blowfish.com/catalog/toys/images/t-wsr-2338.jpg but you have to supply your own bullet vibe.

I'm glad the scene was portrayed properly. Faye's thoughts were more along the lines of a porn store, not a sex toy store. The latter caters a lot more to women and are a lot less skeezy well albeit less-drunk workers. :P Bravo, Jeph!
Also, yes I would totally get it. Lol!

She was just looking at pictures. No self stimulation was mentioned.

Both of her hands were fully visible at all times.
On a different subject (I swear), I really like Dora's expression in the last panel. Jeph did good.

How many people need 20 minutes to just look at pictures? That seems to be pretty specific.
